You pay for forced promotion

Yeah, no thanks. I always thought that the similar artists feature was enough. Though, going to the page now, besides Oranssi Pazuzu, all the similar artists are locals including In the Shit.

You pay $20 (IIRC) for 100 plays on band-specific radio stations where you pick the bands (ex: I did that for Crippling Fear and picked stations for bands like Weekend Nachos, Infest, Spazz, etc.) I thought that was pretty cool.

...and as far as the similar artists, I don't know this for sure, but I think they base it on how many people who listen to a given band listen to another band. What I mean by that is if Crippling Fear has 100 listeners, if 95 of those 100 listeners also listen to Infest, then Infest would be considered a similar artist.
